Window Position/size error when maximized

[ldcherry]

When my Word window is maximized, the top ends up about 2/3 ff the way up my
screen and the bottom is cut off. It I take it off of maximize, I can drag
it to the full dimensions of my screen but as soon as hit maximize or double
click the title bar it goes back to the wrong "maximized" again. I checked
my other office programs (excel, powerpoint) and they are fine. I think I
may have accidentally hit some keyboard command as it opened fine and I was
typing away when I felt I had hit a wrong key (Either Ctrl, ALT or the
windows function key instead of shift) but by then it was too late. I've
open and closed Word and shutdown and restarted my system. Any thoughts?

I am having the same problem. It just started doing this a few days ago and
I cannot seem to figure out why. Like you said, the other office programs
are running just fine.

PLEASE - Will someone help us?????

This worked for me!

I previously offered the following suggestion (which had worked
for me) to another poster with the same problem:

"If you are using Word as your email editor in Outlook, try
turning off that feature, Restore Down your Word window, Maximize
your Word window, and then turn on Word as your email editor in
Outlook again."

and he subsequently replied:

"Worked great for me. but i had to turn off Word as Editior,
close outlook, close word, open word, maximize, open outlook,
turn on feature. The only difference was shutting down outlook
for a second. Everything now works fine."

So now you have two possible solutions, both of which have fixed
the problem for different people.
